Galatasaray are intensifying their push to bring Burnley midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu to Turkey this summer. The Nigerian-born player moved to Burnley permanently from Chelsea last year but is now open to fresh opportunities after the club's Premier League relegation.
The Istanbul giants have tabled a fresh bid for Ugochukwu after Burnley rejected an earlier approach, according to Türkiye Gazetesi. Galatasaray's new proposal totals €24 million, structured as a €2 million loan fee followed by a mandatory €22 million purchase clause.
Ugochukwu made a solid contribution to Burnley's campaign last season, scoring three goals and setting up two assists across 38 appearances. The midfielder's availability has caught Galatasaray's attention as the Turkish club looks to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Burnley's descent from the top flight has created a window for moves involving their squad members. Ugochukwu's representatives are believed to be considering the Galatasaray offer seriously as the player weighs his next career step.
